Assets for story 4, Enthusiast / Citizen Scientist
The Chandra X-ray Observatory, operated and managed by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, is thecountrys premier X-ray telescope. Orbiting far above the Earth, Chandra captures information about the Universe.As the methods to communicate have advanced in recent years, so too have the efforts to keep Chandra engagedwith the public. One major initiative in this area encodes Chandra images (available atchandra.harvard.edu ) with so-called Astronomy Visualization Metadata, or AVM. Tagging astronomical i mages with AVM ensures that keyinformation such as the image description, the object type, the location, and more -- stays linked to the image as ittravels throughout the Internet. By keeping this information embedded with the imagery, the outreach potential ofeach image released is increased dramatically. Chandra images are now used by Microsofts Worldwide Telescope,Google Sky, Wikisky, social media sites such as Flickr, and by digital planetariums across the world.In short, metadata - a crucial, yet largely invisible set of information - allows Chandra images to be shared, admired, and seen
by millions of people worldwide. [from SI digi strategic plan draft]

y Photo appears to reveal a pinpoint surrounded by a circle disk, with jets emerging from either poles. Isn't this more representative of a blackhole than a neutron star?On the otherhand, if a blackhole, one would expect to see a disk feeding t he lurking monster, Can it be that the star is still shrinking, even after a thousand years on its way to
becoming a blackhole?

y If the Crab Nebula is about 6000 light years from Earth and his explosion was observed on Earth a thousand years b efore now, those means that it happened 7000 years ago?And other question.
If we suppose that explosion produced some type of gravitationaleffect. What effect arrived first to Earth? the light effector or gravitational?

Before I get going to far:The shuttle Atlantis has departed from the ISS and will be heading home to a landing on Friday. The shuttle program is going to end pretty
soon and you wont have many more chances to see the pair crossing the sky. To find out when you can see them, checkHeavens Above orSpaceweather.com. Be
sure to enter your location!!!
Ok back to the Crab Nebula, have a look at this great new image release of the Crab Nebula from the Chandra site, in particular the central regions.
Check out the Crab Nebula Fact Sheet from Chandra
From the Chandra website:
A stars spectacular death in the constellation Taurus was observed on Earth as the supernova of 1054 A.D. Now, almost a thou sand years later, a super dense object
called a neutron star left behind by the explosion is seen spewing out a blizzard o fhigh-energy particles into the expanding debris field known as the Crab
Nebula. X-ray data from Chandra provide significant clues to the workings of this mighty cosmic generator, which is producing energy at the rate of 100,000 suns.
This composite image uses data from three of NASAs Great Observatories. The Chandra X -ray image is shown in blue, the Hubble Space Telescope optical image is
in red and yellow, and t he Spitzer Space Telescopes infrared image is in purple. The X-ray image is smaller than the others because extremely energetic electrons
emitting X-rays radiate away their energy more quickly than the lower-energy electrons emitting optical and infrared light. Along with many other telescopes,
Chandra has repeatedly observed the Crab Nebula over the course of the missions lifetime. The Crab Nebula is one of t he most s tudied objects in the sky, truly
making it a cosmic icon.

Spectacular image. It really looks like a generator i n there. But dont we hate to see the end of the shuttle program? I thought it was doing so well making
one delivery after another.
2. Trudy on November 25th, 2009
I have a question. I know the hubble takes pictures and then there is cassini. Is cassini a satalite like the hubble and if so how many hubble type cameras
are there.
ThanksTrudy
3. Stellarparadox on November 25th, 2009
I agree with you F Eddie, too bad the Shuttle Program couldnt either be continued or replaced with a better system. I am not pleased with the design of
the new program, looks like a throwback to the 60s, a proven design for sure and improved, but I was hoping for something that would look more like
the shuttle only improved, perhaps a transfer vehicle between Earth and the moon. Maybe have a lander in orbit at the moon, an idea fo r a simple system.
Plus, forget about landing on Mars for a century or so, learn to live on the Moon for a while. Its going to be tough at first, so better to be able to get help
in a few days, not a possible 2 years onM
ars. Oh
, the Crab Nebula, simply beautiful.
